The Responder<\/a> actor returns as Everett K Ross in<\/span> Black Panther: Wakanda Forever<\/a>, which deals with the death of T\u2019Challa in the MCU after Chadwick Boseman\u2019s tragic passing<\/a> in real life.<\/p>\n Directed by Ryan Coogler, the story follows the likes of Shuri (Letitia Wright), Nakia (Lupita Nyong\u2019o), Okoye (Danai Gurira), M\u2019Baku (Winston Duke) and Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett) as they take on underwater monarch Namor, played by Tenoch Huerta.<\/p>\n Reflecting on all of the MCU films and TV series currently around, Freeman<\/a> told RadioTimes.com<\/a>: \u201cI see the frustration of some people who say there\u2019s too much of it \u2013 I get what they mean. But I just think a good film is a good film, you know?<\/p>\n \u201cSo I think if we want good films, some of them are going to be romantic comedies and some of them are going to be Marvel films or superhero movie.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I think that\u2019s fair, really, because that\u2019s quite a broad scope and if we want an artistic palette that has a lot of different things in it \u2013 not only espionage dramas or not only romcoms \u2013 then I think the superhero thing has totally earned its place in that.\u201d<\/p>\n Freeman also described Wakanda Forever as political, which he says is the duty and responsibility of an artist.<\/p> \u201cI always felt from the time I read the first Black Panther that it was political \u2013 not necessarily with a big p, but it was it was saying things that I was vaguely surprised at, to the extent of it,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n \u201cI mean, I think if you go back to the beginning of the MCU, Iron Man says little things too, it does \u2013 about the military industrial complex and about American overseas involvement, stuff like that. Not smashing you over the head with it, because I also don\u2019t think it should, because that\u2019s literally not our job.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I think alluding to things is fine and responsible and maybe the duty of an artist, and an artist\u2019s duty as people who live in free societies is to comment on things.\u201d<\/p>\n The film deals with race and identity, the oppression of colonialism and celebrates black heritage.<\/p>\n Additional reporting by David Craig.<\/em><\/p>\n Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is released in cinemas on\u00a011th November 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for more to watch, check out our\u00a0TV guide<\/a>\u00a0or Streaming Guide<\/b><\/a>, or visit our Film<\/a> hub.
